The Best Way to End the Year

31 Dec

Finally, my person is letting me post again.

I posed for so many pictures today that she didn’t know what else to do.

Anyway, this was the best way to end the year – and the only time all year I had snow to play in.

One of my favorite things to do is drag a Frisbee through the snow.

Now where did that Frisbee go?

Here it is!

I found it.

Hey Gizmo, come out here!

This is so much fun!

Are you serious, Gizmo?

There is no way I’m coming back in the house.

Well, maybe – if I can go out the other door and head to my trails.

Hey, who is this invading my front yard?

Looks like some kind of alien or something.

All I can say is, you’d better not be here when I get back –

-or I’m turning you yellow.

Speaking of yellow, there’s got to be some yellow snow around here.

They tell me it carries the best messages.

Nope.

There’s no yellow snow here either.

These snow creatures must have eaten it all.

Hey, what happened to my puddle?

It’s changed.

I guess not everybody likes snow the way I do.

I hope you pop out of it soon, puddle.

Are you coming people?

Come on!

Don’t worry about that puddle.

It’ll get over it.

Finally!

Okay, throw the ball.

I’m ready.

I see that ball.

C’mon, throw it!

What do you mean, our walk is over?

Happy New Year everybody!

NaNoWoofMo is Here!

05 Nov

I finally figured out a way to get my person to help me with another blog post.

And I didn’t even have to have an adventure to do it.

Because another dog is in the middle of an adventure.

You see, my friends at Rocco’s House invited me to take part in NaNoWoofMo for the second year in a row. It’s great fun and any pet blogger – even cats – can take part by picking a day to write a chapter. There’s still lots of days open so stop by Rocco’s House and leave a comment if you’d like to take part. All the links to each day’s chapter will be there too.

The story started at Rocco’s House, then continued on with my buddy Kuruk, travelled over to Hailey and Zaphod’s blog and now here it is on mine.

So here goes:

I could hear the hollow sound as someone stepped on a loose board before I noticed the silhouette of a man on the porch. He held a long stick by his side.

“It’s those coyotes again,” the man said.

I watched as the man raised that stick and pointed it directly at me.

Crack!

The sound deafened me and at the same time something buried itself into the ground near my front paw, raising a pile of dust.

I ran deeper into the shadows.

The man shook his head and went back inside.

The smell of bacon had grown even stronger as it had escaped out the once opened door. My tummy rumbled.

As I lay in the dark wondering how to get that bacon, a sharp pain moved up my back, beginning from the area where I had cut myself on the fence.

I yelped.

***

Oh no, we have to wait till tomorrow to find out what happens next when Swami Zoe takes over. I can’t wait to read more of the story.

Wait a minute. Isn’t Swami Zoe a cat?

Oh, I guess I did say that cats can take part in this too.

As long as they have their own blog and don’t try to steal the blog of the dog they live with.

Gizmo and Scratchy, I’m watching you!

No More Mischief

13 Oct

This is Gizmo here.

Today is Monday Mischief and I hear that Bongo’s been blaming me for all his mischief.

Bongo is full of mischief, and then to make things worse he tries to put the blame on me and Scratchy.

So in order to keep him from blaming us for any more mischief, I’m locking his computer before he can get on it.

He’ll be spending the rest of the day trying to figure out how to get it unlocked.

.

And I can relax.

Who’s Locked Up?

08 Oct

My person kept going places all day today.

And every time she left I got locked in dog jail.

In and out.

And it seemed like a lot more ins that outs.

But I got to thinking…

…because I’m a really smart dog.

And I came up with an idea.

Because it’s not really fair that I always have to go in dog jail…

…but the cats don’t.

.

So here’s my idea.

I’ll lure the cats in…

…and then I’ll shut the door.

Don’t you think this is a great idea?

Not My Mischief

06 Oct

Somebody has been up to mischief.

And it’s not me.

Because I’m the perfect dog.

So here’s the story.

It was night, and at night I always sleep on the floor next to my person’s bed.

I’m nice and quiet all night and never bother anybody.

Sometimes I get bothered.

Like when somebody wants to leave the room in the dark and the door hits my nose.

I’ve got to sleep by the door in order to guard it.

.

But Gizmo – remember him?

Well Gizmo sleeps right on top of my person’s bed.

I don’t know why she lets him do it, but she does.

And Gizmo always wakes my person up in the wee hours of the morning because he has to go out and do whatever he has to do.

That’s usually when the door hits my nose.

But Gizmo got that mischief bug in him last night.

He woke my person up and she got up to let him out of the room.

But he didn’t go out.

Instead he found a new spot on the bed.

My person’s spot.

Who Will Win?

18 Sep

I was walking along my trails minding my own business when I looked up.

And in a tree were two birds.

.

I wonder what would happen if one of them decided to pull mischief on the other.

Which one would win?

Would it be the hawk?

Definitely the largest and most powerful of the two.

A tried and true hunter.

Would the hawk win?

Or would it be…

…the hummingbird?

I’m going for the hummingbird.

That hummingbird already has it’s pointy beak aimed directly at the hawk.

One perfectly aimed dive bomb and that hawk will never know what hit him.

I’m voting for the little guy.

***

Unless the little guy turns out to be…

…a cat.

Sleeping Spots

11 Sep

In the summer when it’s hot one of my favorite places to sleep is in the bathroom.

On the nice, cool tile.

.

While the cats sleep on the futon.

Plotting against me, I’m sure.

***

But something went wrong.

I’m not sure what happened.

Maybe there was a cat fight or something.

Gizmo, could you at least give me my mat back?

Cat Containers

10 Sep

Okay, I’ve got to tell you what’s been going on at my house while I’ve been absent from my blog.

There seems to be a great jealousy of my dog jail kennel from the cats.

I guess they wish they had one as nice as mine.

But I’m guarding it and I might need to put a sign up that says “No Cats Allowed!”

So the cats have had to settle for second best.

.

Scratchy had to go to the vet the other day so his cat jail was sitting out.

And he’s claiming it – or guarding it – or something.

Who would want your silly old cat cage anyway Scratchy?

It’s too little to be any good.

***

Now Gizmo, not to be left out, had to get creative.

He made his own little cubby.

Not as good as mine…

But I have to admit that Gizmo is innovative.

Or is that in na box?

Famous Gizmo

11 Aug

We had a horrendous thunder storm today so I wouldn’t couldn’t go on my walk.

I think my person was too scared of the thunder so I didn’t want to take a chance and take her.

I thought I would be nice to her and keep her safe at home.

So to pass the time I started looking at a magazine.

National Geographic.

And I learned something I never knew before.

.

Gizmo is famous.

He not only has his picture on my blog, but he has a full page in National Geographic.

Don’t tell him that I’m a little bit jealous.

If he knew that I’d never hear the end of it.

And if you don’t believe me you can check out the online picture of Gizmo here: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2014/08/gombe-chimpanzees/shah-rogers-photography#/10-gizmo-670.jpg

What? You don’t think this looks anything like Gizmo?

That’s gotta show what happens when a little fame goes to your head.
